Story: Why do pigs howl at the top of their lungs when they are killed, but other animals do not do this?

Have you noticed an interesting phenomenon? During festivals and festivals, when pigs and sheep are slaughtered, you always hear the big fat pigs howling at the top of their lungs, but the sheep don't seem to bark much. Of course, it is rare to see pigs being killed nowadays. Many of them are processed in slaughterhouses. It is now rare to see them in the village. When I was a child in the countryside, pigs would be killed during festivals and festivals. This became a great pleasure for my friends, watching pigs being killed. Under normal circumstances, pigs will rebel crazily and howl loudly, and the whole village can hear the pigs' miserable howls. However, when I was a child, I often saw scenes of sheep being killed. The sheep didn't seem to howl or resist much. What's going on? Don't the sheep know that they are going to be killed?

Later, when I was in school in Shandong, I heard an uncle tell a legendary story about why pigs howl when they are killed. I thought it would be interesting to share it with everyone.

By the way, in the past, people only knew how to eat crops and not much meat, because the Jade Emperor said that all living beings are equal and we are all living creatures in the world and cannot eat each other. But one year, there was a severe drought and no rain fell at all. Everyone prayed to God and told grandma that it would not rain. Seeing that the people were starving to death. Taibai Jinxing couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to the Jade Emperor and said, "If we don't give them rain, everyone will starve to death. What should we do?" The Jade Emperor said, "This is their disaster, and they must bear it. But also It’s not that there is no way, forget it, pass on my word, from now on, pig, chicken and sheep will be a dish, let the common people eat meat to tide over the difficulties.” After receiving the decree, Taibai Jinxing went to the lower world to deliver the decree. The people were very happy when they heard that they could eat the meat of pigs, chickens and sheep. Now they were saved and they would not die of hunger.

When I got home, I immediately grabbed the chicken and was about to kill it and eat it. Of course the chicken didn't agree, so he said, "The Jade Emperor has long said that all living beings are equal. Why do you humans eat me?" The man said, "The Jade Emperor just asked Taibai Venus to pass on the decree. Pig, chicken, and sheep are all dishes. Don't believe me." Go ask Taibai Jinxing, he is still at the entrance of the village and has not left." The chicken ran over and asked Taibai Jinxing. Sure enough, the Jade Emperor made a decree, and it didn't resist much. When it came back, it was killed and eaten by humans. The sheep also disagreed with humans eating them, so they ran to ask Taibai Jinxing. Sure enough, just like the chickens said, they had become a dish for humans, so they didn't resist much and were killed and eaten by humans.

When humans tied up pigs and wanted to kill them and eat them, the pigs also refused to agree, saying that this was impossible and that I had to ask Taibaijinxing myself. But Pig is so lazy that he can't even walk. After walking halfway, it didn’t want to leave anymore, thinking that if I went back, I would lie to humans and say that the Jade Emperor had never given such a decree, so it walked back halfway. The people had sharpened their knives and waited for the pig to come back and kill it. As soon as they tied the pig up and were about to kill it, the pig said, "No, I just walked halfway and came back, so I didn't ask." The man said: "I asked you to go and ask if you want to go. I don't have time to mess around with you here. I am almost starving to death. I will kill you to eat meat now." When the pig heard this, the human didn't give it a chance to ask again. It tried its best to resist and howled loudly - I don't accept it, I don't accept it, I don't accept it. People said: "I don't care whether you accept it or not. Anyway, the Jade Emperor said that pig, chicken and sheep are the same dish, whether you like it or not." After saying that, he stabbed the pig to death with one knife.

From then on, whenever people wanted to kill pigs for meat, the pigs howled loudly - I don't accept it, I don't accept it, I don't accept it. . . . . .
